RUNNING A DEAL.
The Development of a Corner on Wheat
Anticipated at St. Louis.
mltted.

Anticipated at ST Louis.
ST. Louis, Mo-, May 2.-There was
considerable talk on change to-day that
deal in wheat is being run here, and
that corner will soon develop. The per-
sons reported to be working the deal are
r. P. Brown, eX-president of the Ameri-
Can Cotton Oil Trust Company of New
York, and William Black & Co., big cot
ton dealers of the same city. II has been
known for some time that Brown and
Williams & Co. have been buying wheat
in this market, and the reports that
they intended to run a deal which
have been in circulation some days
were greatly strengthened to-day when
Mr.. Brown himsef appeared on the
floor of the exchange. He denied that
he had any such p0rpose IN view, but his
deni&l did not allay the excitement nor
stop the talk, and the slUrtS on May
wheat are greatly exercised over the sit
uatiOn. Mr.. Brown stated positively
that no corner here is contemplated, but
he said that some parties who sold ex-
tensively in Chicago some time ago and
bought here are now getting out
Of their short wheat at Chicago
and will stand on their long wheat here.
On belief of that prices are bound to
be higher. The conditions of this mar
ket are said to be favorable for corner.
Nearly half a million bushels of No. 2
red wheat were shipped from here last
week to New Orleans by river for export.
| The stock of this grade in elevators to-
day was only 100000 bushels. The
export demand is still active and it is
said, or at least predicted, that the
stock will drop to quarter OF a million
bushels by the middle of the month.
It may go lower; If it does it will be easy
to control cash wheat, unless large quan-
titles are rushed in from the country,
which it is said is not likely, and a
squeeze may be made. Altogether, there
is some furry, and the institution is
likely to be watched closely. Ia this
connection, and with view to imparting
Information before made public, it nay
be said that the grain sent down the river
since navigation opened, on February l,
for export is APP 672 bushels of corn
and l,459,06 bushels of wheat. These
are official figures.

NEW YORK, May 2.-The Herald this
morning says 'In ante-bellum days it
was the invariable practice to take either
the President or the Vice-P President from
the south. Is it not time that the second
highest post of honor in the government
be again opened to the south ? The
Democratic party can now well afford to
name southerner for the vice-presidency
and it may strengthen the ticket by doing
so. What southerner is most widely and
favorably known north as we'll as south?
By popular acclaim Henry w. Grady Of
Atlanta will at once be accorded that dis
tinction. The Herald proposes this ticket
for SO: For President, Grover Cleveland
New York; for Vice-President, Henry w.
Grady of Georgia.

MILLEDGEvILLE, GA, May Mrs.
Day will be lodged in the Iunstic asylum
here next week. The cause of her lunacY
is peculiar. About eight years ago the

up. Some months after this she married
q young man by the name of Day, and re-
moved to the neighborhood of Troy, Ala.
Two weeks ago Mr.. Kent received a letter
from her in which she begged for his as
sistanCe, as she had been deserted by her
husband. Her story was sad one. With
great PARTICULARLY of details her husband
pictured to her the murder of her broth
er, Gaping the climax by declaring him
self the murderer. For years she had
carried the terrible secret, becoming the
mother of three children by the murderer
of her brother. Last week she reached
the home of her brother in this county a
rAving maniaC.
